Intro Chords:
[C] [Am] [Em] [F] [Em] [F] [G] [C] [C7] [F] [G] [C]
An [C]empty house is [Am]hard to bear
[Em]Lonesome's falling [F]everywhere
With[Em]out you there's no light coming [F]in
That [F]lucky dog [G]jumped the fence
[C]Ain't seen him around [C7]here since
And [F]I don't guess I [G]ever will a[C]gain
It didn't [Am]bother me any, I was [Em]good to that dog
And just like [F]you I'm gonna have to learn to [G]let him go
[C]Leaving [Am]me was[Em] one thin[C7]g Carla[F], why'd you have t[G]o leave s[C]o slow
Slow and shifty backing out
You were trying to fill my head with doubt
You nearly had me walking out on you
About the oldest trick to be
Playing on someone as old as me
That can not be the best that you can do
It didn't bother me any when he come around
I just wish I hadn't been the last guy in town to know
I didn't mind you walking away what hurt was how you walked so slow
You know, you go[Am] [Em]
You know that was so underhanded
Grabbing him just as you landed
After holding me the whole time you fell
You tell me he'll be good to you
Who wouldn't be, what else is new
And now all that I can do is wish you well
It wouldn't have bothered me any, if you left me when you wanted to
But you just had to wait until you had some place better to go
I didn't mind you walking away, what hurt was how you walked so slow
Leaving me was one thing Carla why'd you have to leave so slow
